MIDDLETOWN, R.I. – The Norwich women's ice hockey team skated to a 1-1 tie with Salve Regina on Saturday night at St. George's Rink in ECAC East action.

Salve Regina's junior goaltender Rebecca Simmons made 41 saves to keep the powerful Norwich offense at bay and helped the Seahawks take the first point from the Cadets in league play this season.

Norwich (10-3-1, 7-0-1 ECAC East) had its three-game win streak and perfect league record snapped despite outshooting Salve Regina 42-11.

Sophomore forward Jillayne DeBus scored the Cadets' lone goal of the game at the 17:32 mark of the first period on a power play with assists from Kayla Parsons and Sophie Leclerc.

Kristen Cokely tied the game up at the 4:34 mark of the second period with a power play goal of her own.

Norwich outshot Salve Regina 22-1 in the third period and the five-minute overtime, but neither side was able to score again.

The Cadets return to action next weekend with a home and home series against in-state rival St. Michael's. Norwich travels to South Burlington on Friday for a 7 p.m. faceoff and then returns home to Kreitzberg Arena on Saturday to host the Purple Knights at 7 p.m.

Saturday's game is the Cadets Skate For The Cure game where Norwich will be wearing special-edition pink jerseys. Free admission will be offered and instead fans are asked to donate money in jars that will be placed at the entrances of the arena to help fight cancer.

All donations will go to the SD Ireland Cancer Research Center.
